The UK Gambling Commission awards GoWild a Remote Gambling Operating License, enabling GoWild to open its virtual doors to the UK gambling market.

July 2017 – GoWild, a leading European online gaming operator, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a Remote Gambling Operating License by the UK Gambling Commission.

The UK Gambling Commission is one of the most demanding regulators in the world. As part of the due diligence process in granting the license, GoWild was required to meet the governing body’s renowned standards for quality and integrity.

As the UK is one of the largest and most respected interactive gambling markets in the world, obtaining the UK license is an exceptionally welcome achievement for GoWild, and a point of great pride. It is also a marked step forward in the company’s express, overall goals of further expanding into regulated gaming markets.

This achievement comes in the footsteps of other major triumphs in FY17 including the opening of the company’s Maltese offices, and further expansion in the Nordic markets. It also follows this year’s major milestone of successfully migrating over a decade’s worth of business from Microgaming, in-house to the proprietary GoWild HERO gaming system.

“With a strong focus on expanding in regulated markets, licensing by the UK Gambling Commission is welcome news to GoWild,” commented Itai Zak, CEO at GoWild. “The UK is one of the biggest, oldest, and most respected gaming communities in the world, and operating there will allow us to increase our exposure, reach new audiences, and improve the local gaming experience. We look forward to opening our virtual doors in the UK, and successfully serving the local gaming needs.”
